MacBook Pro internal screen doesn't work but an external monitor works
Hey all,
My Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) has a problem. The screen is black when I boot it up, but when I plug it in to my external monitor it works.
Things I tried:
- Reconnecting LVDS cable
- PRAM reset
- SMC reset
- Disconnecting the battery for a few minutes and reconnecting it again.
- Removed and re-inserted RAM sticks.
I don't know what I can do at the moment. Are there more things I can try or should I get a screen replacement?
Is this a good question?

Shine a flashlight through the Apple logo in the lid are you able to see your desktop and the icons?

Turn off the system and disconnect the LVDS cable take a picture of both the cable (both sides) and the logic board so we can see the connections as I'm suspecting there's some damage Adding images to an existing question
